Tho Brewers and MaIste1s Contribution
to Defeat Prohibition.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6.-The result in Tex
as was attained not without the lavish
expenditure of money contributed by the
brewers and distiliers of the country.
The National Brewers association pub
licly appropriated $40, 600, to be added to
the anti-prohibition campaign fund. st.
Louis brewers are, however, much more
interested in the consumption of beer in
Texas than the entire remainder of that
class of manufacturers.
w. j. Lemp & CO. aud the Anheuser-
Busch Brewery association haye enor-
plants in the way of ice houses To-
Gated throughout the state. and the tray
eler through the soath would well be-
lieve that they w miles of refrigerator
cars for the sole purpose of transporting
keg beer. All the bottling houses of the
country do a big business in Texas, but
ST. Louis has a practical monopoly of the
keg beer business in the state. Small
wonder then that the Campaign COM
mitteeh called upon the ST. Louis brew
ars for a liberal contribution. The mat
ter was taken up in the Brewers assoc
citation some three months ago, and while
all the bottlers and brewers made sub
Btantial contributions. the bulk of the
money was given by w. J.. Iemp and
Adolphus Busch, their joint contribu-
ton being $50, 900. TO this the other
members of the association added a mat
ter of $4,000. No secret was made OF the
matter, and Philip Stock, secretary of
the association, spoke Of it quite freely
about the city, just previous to his de-

origin OF cur Buttons.

Everybody of an observant turn Of
mind has noticed the two or three
buttons on the cuffs of military coats,
but few know the origin and reason OF
this custom. They were first worn by
soldiers in the English army. The first
uniform coats OF the English army had
no buttons on the cuffs, and the soldiers
used to draw the cuff of their coat across
their nose and mouth on every occasion
when a pocket handkerchief or napkin
might have been called into reqcisit;on.
Ail o matter OF course the cuff became
shiny and defaced. Punishment and
reprimand were tried, but they did not

SCI Jobs for SeYan.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The secretary
of the interior has so far appointed only
seyen agents to supervise the allotment
OF lands in severalty to Indians upon
that number Of reservations. Thers are
about sixty-six reservations w, ere allot-
meats are to be made under this law, but
in many instances the necessary surveys
have not been made by the general land
Office. On many of the reservations the
Indians are not prepared for the allot-
ment OF the lands. and they will be left
until the work on the other reservations
is completed. 1t is nor probable that
any more agents viii be appointed, as
those recently appointed ear be sent to
other reservations to superintend the al
lotment of lands as they complete the
work where they are now located.

Henry George on the Crisis.

NEW YoRg, Aug. 6.-Henry George,
in The Standard, says that the platform
to be adopted at the coming state conyen-
ton OF the United Labor party should
clearly and firmly define the position of
the party with relation to socialism. The
efforts of the socialists to foist their Pc
culiar ideas upon the party have become
so notorious that any. attempt to evade
the issue would give the enemies Of the
party a pretext to make the charges that
they do. He thinks that the issue should
be settled once for all and is MOI in fla
yor, therefore, of excluding socialist del
egates from the convention. He would
like to see that element represented by
It's ablest e%Kponents, too, and have the
question decided on its merits. MI.
George thinks that the socialists can ac-
complish more good with the United La
Dor party than they can working sepa-
rately, but they must abandon some OF
their foreign ideas or they can have no
place in the movement.
